Listen to poem:

Clouds - POTD

Dreams are never-ending
Fluffy and white
We want them to be solid
But we know they never might

The world is made for dreamers
Who's transient ideas
Fly high above all others
Floating careless of all fears

Beyond the stars will twinkle
When the lighting is just night
Our dreams, they will caress them
Like a party dress, just right

Take my hand again I'll show you
As we stand under the sky
A new landscape filled with promise
Only for the dreamer's eye

Hello, Sam. I apologize for being remiss in not congratulating you on your potd. I've just listened to your recording of your poem... twice. Your voice and the way in which you pause at proper moments made it quite enjoyable. I could envision it with my eyes closed. Dreamers always have the best view, no matter the direction they choose to glean.

Dear Sam- many congratulations on POTD with your beautiful Clouds poem. Like so many, I love watching them . Find them fascinating and at times, quite therapeutic. Lovely rhymes and flow and I love the imagery ‘Fluffy and white’ ‘Beyond the stars will twinkle’ and I love the line,’Our dreams, they will caress them’ and the last two concluding lines. So enjoyed it. Beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Have a great, celebratory day my poetic friend and keep inspiring. :):)
